Art Dog (Trophy Picture Books) by
Thacher Hurd
My Son Loves It!
Arthur Dog, guard at Dogopolis Museum of Art and ardent fan of Leonardo
Dog Vinci, leads a quiet life--except when the moon is full. On those nights
something happens to Arthur. His eyes grow bright and his fur seems to
glisten... and soon he is hatted and masked and out on the streets painting
secret masterpieces. No one knows who the mysterious Art Dog is, until
the night when Brrringggg! the museum alarm goes off, and Arthur finds
himself in the middle of a Mona Woofa heist. Can Arthur extricate himself
from this terrible predicament and point the paw at the true criminals?
Thacher Hurds wacky story and fabulously splashy illustrations, with witty
nods to many famous artists, would dazzle any young reader. Budding art
aficionados, especially, will be thrilled to recognize the works of Pablo
Poodle, Henri Muttisse, and Vincent Van Dog, among others. A delightful
book! (Ages 4 and older) --Emilie Coulter
Personal Review: Art Dog (Trophy Picture Books) by Thacher
Hurd
By day, Arthur Dog, Dogopolis Museum of Art security guard, and lover of
paintings by Vincent Van Dog, Pablo Poodle, Henri Muttisse, and

Leonardo Dog Vinci. By night, Art Dog, masked grafitti artist painting the
city in beautiful color. "No one knew who Art Dog really was... until one
night at the museum." Yikes! Someone has stolen the Mona Woofa! After
being falsely accused, Art Dog paints his way out of jail, lifts his nose in the
air..."I can smell art a mile away," and saves the day in superhero
fashion..... Thacher Hurd has authored an entertaining, wacky picture
book that's sure to tickle the funny bones of young and old alike. His
delightful, high-spirited text begs to be read aloud, and is full of terrific
sound effects, wordplay, and dog puns. But it's his bold, bright, and
splashy illustrations that really make this book stand out and sparkle.
Perfect for youngsters 4-8, Art Dog is a funny, engaging, rip-roarin'
adventure you don't want to miss. "Who was Art Dog? Who was this
painter in a Brushmobile, catcher of crooks, bringer of light to the
Dogopolis night?" Only readers will know!
